What’s new

Raw self-reflection
21st August 2024
Today we bring you the work of the Austrian artist Franz Ringel, who wrote of his powerful art ‘I have tried to free myself, but I cannot. The more I paint, the more I paint myself.’ See his paintings of raw, colourful, stylised sexual bodies now by clicking here.

Blue Sky?
13th August 2024
So … X (Twitter) is the main way that our 13K+ X followers know about new content on the honesterotica website, but like so many others we are very concerned about the direction that Elon Musk – ever more reactionary and unhinged – is taking the platform. Rosie hates the divisive and anti-libertarian stance of one of the world’s richest male chauvinists. So we’ve taken a first step towards opening up a new channel, on the decentralised open-access platform Bluesky – you can find us on Bluesky here. It hasn’t been plain sailing – so far we haven’t worked out how to include images in posts, but we will persevere, and will post all new posts to both platforms. If you’re also exploring social platform options, join us on Bluesky and we’ll see what happens.

Best of both?
13th August 2024
‘Beautiful women with huge tits, round asses – and shlongs with low-lying balls to make a bull proud.’ That’s the trademark art of today’s new artist, the Norwegian creator of trans art Kinky Jimmy. Kitsch porn or quality erotic art? Decide for yourself by clicking here.

Free love?
9th August 2024
Lifesize naked human bodies with colourful animal heads are the trademark of today’s new artist, Vinz, with his provocative Feel Free project, often displayed on city streets. He encourages us to think about violence and vulnerability: see his work now by clicking here.

Slightly surreal sex
4th August 2024
The first new artist after our summer holidays (Colorado hot springs and southern England, yay!) is the inventive and versatile Russian, Dmitry Akimov. We hope you enjoy his wit and talent as much as we do – see his work now by clicking here.

What Dada and Mama get up to
18th July 2024
Another new artist for you all today, one of the founders of the Dada movement, Marcel Janco. As well as being a quintessential modernist, he was clearly fond of naked bodies and what they get up to! You can see a great selection of his erotic work now by clicking here.

Less is more when naked …
13th July 2024
Another new portfolio for you all today, this time by one of our favourite artists, Marcel Vertès. It’s his spare 1954 drawings to accompany Paul Verlaine’s late poetry sequence Parallèlement. What a way Vertès had with his pencil! See them all now by clicking here.

The search for beauty
11th July 2024

Quality graffiti

Miss Van is probably the best-known street artist working today, her dreamy women with their animal masks, pastel colours, and revealing clothing seen regularly in exhibitions as well as painted on walls throughout Europe and America. See her work now by clicking here.

Shades of impropriety
13th June 2024
A new portfolio today from the master of etching Alméry Lobel-Riche, his 1945 illustrations for the Pierre Louÿs story collection Sanguines, stories predominantly concerned with sexual violence, or the threat of it. See the portfolio now by clicking here.
